There are are lookup tables that allow automatic substitution of unavailable fonts. You can configure your own choices in them, so when you load a file with missing fonts it substitutes your choice when it displays it. You don't have to modify the document.
I looked at that table in LibreOffice Writer before opening this thread. It was empty. No clue as to what is being substituted for Times New Roman or Vivaldi.
There are also font conversion tools. You could preserve your original font, then convert it into the current format whenever you needed to, installing that new version.
I've neither seen nor heard of any. Do any come with Fedora?

Liberation Serif is supposed to be compatible with Times New Roman.
I give that a try, along with STIX as suggested by George.
I can see a free Vivaldi font if I do a google search, I don't know if you can use the formats of the one I saw, and whether it looks the same as the one you were using. But it's an old design (well 1970s isn't old for me, but is for others), so people should have had time to clone it.
I'll try Z003 first. As I mentioned in my reply to George, it seems wise in my circumstances to stick with what comes with Fedora and/or LibreOffice.
Thank-you, Tim. Bill.
